[Tacops] TacOps4 on Mac

[Vincent Taijeron]

Returning Mac user here.

I returned to Mac after being away for about 21 years.

I can run Tacops on my Mac,  but I use Parallels Desktop, not Wine.  I use Parallels because I needed to run other Windows programs that Wine couldn’t run.  I have  used Wine to run Tacops in a Linux distro in a vm.  


The first time I saw Tacops was in a PC in Germany.  It was boxed and for Mac only.  That was between ’89-’92, or maybe I saw it at FT Riley.  I may be a little fuzzy on the location and year.  One thing I’m certain of is that it was for the Mac.
